Your dog won't listen? Try dogspeak

Dogspeak? Yes, dogspeak. Whether you are a new dog owner or a trainer looking to improve your skills, you can make progress if you learn to talk with dogs in their own language--a key step in getting your dog to listen to you. This article from the series at Dog Training Basics reminds dog trainers that, at first, tone of voice is the most important. Dogs can learn words, but the tone of voice will always dominate in dogspeak. Next, the three most important tones of voice for canine communication are introduced: the good dog tone, the bad dog tone and the command tone. How you speak a dog's name is also discussed. This is a must-read article for all dog owners.
